@DoorDash_Help I cant call or live chat to cancel my order, so now I have to watch driver after driver waste their time and gas to go to a place I know has closed while you guys have been down, and I cannot complete a call or text to them to let them know. Fucking great.

@jane1_kenny I agree! With the internet, we have freedom to enjoy whatever we want whenever we want, but the enforcement of this quota on radio (a ubiquitous medium) creates a route to accessing new & local music w/o sacrificing the freedom to enjoy what we already like b/c of the internet

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@cadybug3 🇺🇸 music could never be removed from 🇨🇦 society, & surely, 🇺🇸 musicians will continually find success here, but the quota does create opportunities for Canadian artists that otherwise probably wouldn't have happened for them. It's a good idea but not a fixall to oversaturation

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

Quotaing Canadian content will not give us the same level of cultural autonomy as the British (as I've talked about in my last tweet), but it ensures Canadian artists a place/a opportunity to find success in their own country that may otherwise go to an American #MUNMUS2011

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

🇬🇧 supports their own: One doesn't need to "break America" to be successful. With (some) outliers, that is not the case for Canadians. Canadian artists face an uphill battle not just to create a following, but to compete w/ the dominant influence of the Am. market #MUNMUS2011

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

Artists like Brockhampton can go from a collective formed in a forum to producing their music, touring, & eventually getting signed. Even before their breakout, they sold out shows. How could their live music be secondary despite their success while still growing their following?

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

In the 11 years since the article, there has been a rise of digital music sharing and selling platforms for indie artists. These artists through their online and touring success show that people just want originality in their music: platform is secondary to content #MUNMUS2011

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@ZacBatten2 Agreed. If I hear someone cover a Beatles song, the cover isn't necessarily bad, but unless the covering musician changes the song in some way to add their own style into the music, then I'd just rather listen to John, Paul, Ringo, and George.

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@Matt_Doody19 I think there's a common denominator in these types of covers: the covering musician incorporates their own style into the covered song rather than trying to reproduce the song as was recorded (ex Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt). People prefer these covers over note-for-note remakes

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

style/creativity into covered songs (Marylin Manson's version of Sweet Dreams Are Made of These or Ozzy Osbourne's cover of In My Life) -- rather than trying to replicate a piece of music. If people have a chance to hear their fav artists live, they will go to their concerts

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

11 years after the article and society has seen a dramatic increase of independent artists being able to self publish and create and blend genres for an audience with more diverse interests (I'll use XXYYXX as an example). I think that the aptness for recordings 1/X #MUNMUS2011

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

comes from a desire to hear tracks performed to the quality they expect: a quality set by the original artist. This is not to say that people are disinterested in covers but that there is a desire for originality, and the covers most lauded after incorporate another artist's 2/x

@jessie21199111 Cultural theft & an insult to art: stripping black artist's music of their emotion & style to produce a commodity for conservative white america. It expanded usa's idea of acceptable music, but if promoted equally, black artists could have had the same success as schlockers

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@Couves_Mark Schlock is a transformation intended to sterilize & whitewash black music to increase potential profitability & acceptance in a conservative, white America. The passion and creativity of the original artist is lost, & the music exists as a manufactured commodity: an insult to art

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

dismiss this music? Schlock brought a form of music to the masses & slowly changed norms of what music is acceptable, yet if black artists were promoted equal to schlock, wouldn't these norms have changed anyway? Would this invalidate schlock's value? I believe so. #MUNMUS2011

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

Schlock music took the music of underrepresented black artists, whitewashed it, and profited off of their creativity. Akin to licensed video games in 2020, this type of music latched onto a youth trend, and sterilized it for mass consumption, but is this enough to 1/2 #MUNMUS2011

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@ZacBatten2 This music wasn't copied due to any form of respect for the artist or to connect people across cultural and racial backgrounds but because white companies figured out how to treat black music as secondary and then profit off of the music they refused to promote equally.

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@EmileeFarrell16 In these emotionally charged genres, what better cathartic release is there but to pour one's emotions into a human constant: love between two people. The combination of the song's material & this technique of singing it has led to music that connects with audiences across time

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@DkoreillyMusic I think it really shows that this technique of singing and how it added emotion into songs really stands the test of time: with KW sampling the song, countless examples of contemporary singers using the technique, and of course, that we're still having a discussion about it today

[Jason Pynn @Jp0047]

@ceryan_ When I listen to the song, he comes across as a happy, proud, optimistic man because of how he is singing. The break in his voice gives me a feeling of some kind of uplifting energy that really makes the song what it is. The song wouldn't be the same without this emotional layer.
